Clothes are either fitting better or

Yeah - so some of my clothes now seem like sacks...
It's a problem being slightly big for "L" sized shirts and yest "XL" look like sacks

Why? well my weight is now 93.4kg - over 5.5 kgs now since 6th Jan

Exercise needs to increase now.  Did a Crossfit comp in the weekend and felt a bit sore the next day.  More met-con and more shoulder/chest and back strength work.

Also need to see how Wall Balls and Thrusters are going to feel

Ciao

The next week

Well my weight is now 94.3 - A week ago (the 6th) it was 99, and of course on my last post it was 96

All things considered The Paleo Way is working for me

I'm back on the exercise treadmill (so to speak) and getting some of those skills back...

Double Unders - getting there - I can string 10-12 now, just not consistently
Bar Hang - to improve grip strength is coming along
Leg strength is proving difficult, as cycling is the current plan

To do:
1. HSPU
2. CTB
3. Rope Climb
4. Snatch
5. C&J
6. TTB

Wow - nearly two years...

OK - so it's not good news on a lot of fronts...
1. current weight 96.0kgs
2. Bad knee - cartilage knee fissures, in other words when I squat deep it hurts (swells)
3. Uric Acid in the blood - now on daily allupurinol to keep this down - seems to be working

As far as Crossfit is concerned I have been on a break while I try to get my body worked out.  However I do have enough kit in my garage now to do strength and cardio stuff

The 2015 Open was a great event for me, but I was too heavy, and the final 15.5 Thrusters really hammered my knee and bought all the health issues to the fore.

Managed to break through on Muscle Ups - did 9 in The Open wod

OK - so what now...

A. Paleo - the Pete Evans way
B. Strength and Met Conditioning
C. Learn to run in the "Natural"method (or Pose depending on your definition)
D. Get weight back to where it was at the end of 2013 i.e. 88/89kgs
E. Do the 2016 Crossfit Open

Been a while

Well I'm 3 weeks into "The Open"  Scoring OK, and a lot better than my showing last year

Motivation is down in a few other areas - specially Work.  I think it's my poor sleep that is making me feel distracted.  Rather listen to music or watch a movie instead of doing the (sometimes) trickier work.

I'm not watching my weight and I sort of know that I'm 3-4 kgs heavier than I should be.  This won't be helping my sleeping.  However I have cut back my caffeine each day.  Just two strong cups per day, then green tea

What to do? 

"Fight Gone Bad" last night

Wow - FGB is an evil little WOD
They made us do 5 rounds !!!


Got up and went to 6am class
Strict press for skill/strength work then a 12min AMRAP (8 Burpees, 8 Thrusters)
Coach T "Pete you do the Rx weight right!"
Argh - 45kg Thrusters

managed 6 rounds plus 8 burpees
happy that all thrusters were done unbroken

Weight this morning 90.7

Busy schedule - and now it's February

So my weight is 91.8kg...  Too high

Trying to eat as clean as I can, but a few sugar treats are finding there way in...


Workouts have been good.  Doing the extra weight-lifting routines and the usual Crossfit WODS

So many strength elements to work on.  My fore-arm (grip) strength got found out yesterday.  KBs and PUs left my forearms smoked!

Monday yet again - how does that happen?

Seems like I get to Monday each week ad wonder how my diet and training seemed to go all wonky.

Well mostly my diet.
Weight this morning 90.7 - I think a bit of this is due to the sweat released on the WOD

Having difficulty with my left hand - it needs strapping to firm it up to be able to hold the bar overhead

6.00am was Snatch 1RM and then a WOD 15 AMRAP
I did technique work on the Snatch $0/45kg of high hang to work on speed of the last pull and getting under quickly

15 AMRAP
- 100m run
- 10 bar burpees
- 10 SDHP 30kg
- 10 Thrusters 30kg

Did just over 4 rnds
The thrusters were hard with the hand injury -Can't grip the bar enough to aggressively do the thrusters.  Pity cause my running and burpees were great.  SDHP was OK - need to work on those...
